Get set for #GivingTuesday

So it’s finally Sunday, the leftovers are almost gone and you have suffered or rejoiced over your family, your holiday gift list and your favorite football teams.

Are you ready to try a little something new to spice up your week? Mark your calendar for Nov. 27 and Giving Tuesday, what organizers are calling the first national day of giving.

Many organizations are planning major efforts to get our the word about #GivingTuesday — that’s the tag you should use it you want to share your own message on social media about philanthropy or the importance of giving to your own favorite charity. We encourage you to participate — not just for the Community Foundation, but because we support the importance of philanthropy and a culture of giving to enrich our lives and make so much possible.

Check it our for yourself on the GivingTuesday website. Think past Black Friday and Cyber Monday to the possibilities of this new day when we remind ourselves of the best kind of giving — the kind that gives back forever by doing good.
